Pros: Writes on virtually all disk formats; plug and play interface connects to iTunes, video software for movies and viewable data stored on the mounted disk. I bought this for making 'mix tapes' and software installation(while it is still available in this medium). Optical drives in my opinion are much more affordable and economical as an external source than fixed to a laptop which can sometimes create a cumbersome PC.

Cons: Inserts and ejects by popping out for disc removal, compared to other disk drives that transfer disks seamlessly through a mechanical slot.

Pros: Works like a charm!

Cons: Picture does not match the plug, it's actually a little bit wider.

Overall Review: Was ideal to fit thinly between the outlet and my bed frame– it's such a slight difference I just accepted it. But I think it's important to show the picture of the exact items being ordered.

Pros: The Newegg marketplace (especially as the seller) remains #1 to date for service and shipping. Continues to have excellent customer service, communication, fast shipping and returns if there is an issue.

Cons: Some 3rd party sellers list their items incorrectly, creating issues that may lead to returns if unsatisfied. A heavier vetting process on 3rd party sellers to verify and certify their status would be great.

Overall Review: Continues to be my GOTO for all computer parts and equipment.
